Hear hear: "Asked whether 'scaling up' current AI approaches could lead to achieving...(AGI), or a general purpose AI that matches or surpasses human cognition, an overwhelming 76 percent of respondents said it was 'unlikely' or 'very unlikely' to succeed" https://t.co/cq8E4dDIkD

French Senator on Tuesday. Full speech in link.
"Washington has become the court of Nero: an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a buffoon on ketamine tasked with purging the civil service.

This is a tragedy for the free world, but it’s first and foremost a tragedy for the United States. Trump’s message is that being his ally serves no purpose, because he will not defend you, he will impose more tariffs on you than on his enemies, and he will threaten to seize your territories, while supporting the dictators who invade you." https://t.co/3P71SzytMk

Weekend long read on how Hard Fork’s @kevinroose has oversold new AI tools for coding without knowing how to code, as a case study in a larger phenomenon of some leading journalists overhyping AI:

LLMs make weird mistakes, which indicate 2 areas of research. "1. To engineer LLMs that make more human-like mistakes. 2. To build new mistake-correcting systems that deal with the specific sorts of mistakes that LLMs tend to make."

Someone wants to talk to me about business. We've never met. Before the meeting starts, I am asked whether I agree with having our conversation recorded and transcribed by AI.
I don't. Am I being difficult?
I find it intrusive.

AI will do a lot of good things. But it won't cure cancer. Here are a few reasons why
1. AI is trained on the best available published literature. If you have AI read all of the papers in cancer, you have just had AI read 50% or more of literature that cannot be reproduced or may even be fraudulent. If you have AI restrict itself to reading nature science cell JBO, AI has still trained on 50% of material that will not replicate, and is not true. How can AI solve the problem when you pump it full of false information?
2. There is no way to separate the false information from the true information unless you replicate the experiments. That requires beakers pipettes dishes and hands. Now Maybe if AI has a robot form and starts replicating things now you're talking.
3. The limit with cancer cures is is not that we are not reading and synthesizing all the available materials. There are a lot of very smart people working in this space, and they do read widely and think about always all possible ways to combine different strategies. Instead, the limit is biology itself. Understanding what is happening in the cell that has not been seen or detected in current experiments. AI has no way to do this unless it again picks up a pipette.
4. Some of the things people celebrate today to like AI can find more lesions on mammograms. It just reveals the ignorance of the technology people. What is a lesion on a mammogram? It's something that when you stick a needle in it according to a pathologist it has basement invasion. So it looks like cancer under the microscope. this is what AI is being trained on. But it has nothing to do with whether or not the lesion you see is going to progress in your natural life, and kill you, whether or not it's going to stay dormant, whether or not it's spread already. You want to find lesions that are going to kill you. But you can cut out today. We don't know which lesions those are! AI is being trained on a faulty data set yet again. I described this at length in a recent plenary session lecture.
5. 20 years ago they said Judah folkman was going to cure cancer. Then they said immunotherapy was going to cure all cancer. I guess the difference between folkman and immunotherapy is at least immunotherapy has cured some people but folkman cured about zero people. 10 years ago the hype was all about personalized sequencing. Now the hype is AI. There's always going to be some hype. You're better off not smoking, keeping your weight down, exercising and then just accepting that immortality is not going to be happening.
Side note: it's probably a good thing that people are not immortal. People need to die so that their terrible ideas can be replaced with slightly less terrible ideas. Certainly there are backslides, but such is the nature of progress. Reducing untimely death is a much better goal than making people live to 120.

One of the worst things about Disney running Star Wars into the ground is that it's made me forget how fun it was to be a Star Wars fanboy. Occasionally this memory will bubble up from two decades ago about this awesome universe and fan space and it feels like an alien galaxy.

Grupo Planeta está acelerando la adopción e IMPLEMENTACIÓN de la IA Generativa en el sector editorial 🚨 Desde julio de 2024 venimos denunciando junto a Segap los planes de Grupo Planeta y sus posibles colaboraciones con el Ministerio de Cultura en torno a la IAG.

@nia_soler Estos son los que se oponen a las corrientes que vienen de EEUU, que precisamente están quitando frenos a la IA, aquellos que se benefician de esas condiciones

[kiko da silva @dasilvakiko]

El uso de las IAgenerativas ALIMENTADAS con imágenes creadas por autores profesionales SIN SU CONSENTIMIENTO, está generando una merma en los encargos editoriales (Prensa, portadas, libros de texto, carteles). Pero también está desacreditando a los profesionales.

[ARTE es ÉTICA @ArteEsEtica]

El gobierno de España intenta convencernos que la IA mejorará nuestro futuro a través de un PDF de 83 páginas con TEXTOS e IMÁGENES hechos con IA generativa 🤦‍♀️ Imposible tomar en serio a un gobierno que delegue sus funciones en modelos generativos que arrojan estos resultados.

So much for @elonmusk’s longstanding concerns about AI Safety. 😔
